If you buy things to any extent, you’ve probably got some leftover packaging hanging around. What are some cool ways you’ve found to make use of all these materials? Special props to ideas that can be replicated!

    Hehehe! I move a crazy amount, and swear by utilizing cardboard for jank-furniture. I have a cabinet I made to squirrel my things away with a bit of fabric, cardboard, and tape. I love stuff like this. Thanks for the share =)

        Hehehe, I tried looking up pics. Idk why I didn’t think of archive. Gave a glance, I thought - these are a great base. I have often thought how much of these things can we reuse as a people if we collected enough of these materials. I feel like this is a premium example of this.

          For sure. If you put enough layers, cardboard can be a very strong material. I think that this would be a cool idea for a YouTube PeerTube channel, where someone would show how to build furniture, etc., from recycled materials.

            On the low-low - I still use Youtube like…90% of the time. I don’t have a Google account anymore, but almost all of the content I love is on there. I have a Peertube account, but I haven’t really spent a majority of time on it. I’d watch it though, seriously.

              Oh, I hear you. I still use YouTube like 99% of the time. I’ve been meaning to take some time to explore PeerTube more. So far I’ve only seen the ones that get posted here, usually Linux or other open source-related content.
